Back to the Netherlands - Westerwolde

We picked up a coin that wanted to go to Hamburg, Germany. We figured out a cache along the highway not to far from Hamburg (GCNFYK - OsteTal), we combined it with a well deserved rest from the drive from Denmark.

We logged it at 15:00 and left the coin behind.

We made stop in the North of the Netherlands because to drive home in one go would be to far.
In the neighbourhood of the camping site of choice a couple of caches were hidden. Actually on of those (GC141R3 - Koppie koppie) started at the entrance of the camping site.
While walking the route we by accident discovered the stash of the cache (GC1Q2T9 - Noorder rondrit ~ De Bonus), a bonus cache of a bicycle trip around the area. We logged this one at 20:45.

We also passed by a virtual cache (GCJ8BN - The Big Crash), a crash site of two airplanes a couple of years ago.
We passed by at 21:30.

We discovered the stash of the (GC141R3 - Koppie koppie) cache at 22:00, just before dark.

And then the next day before driving home we decided to go for a multi-cache (GC13AJR - Mooi Westerwolde), that also starts at the entrance of the camping site.
A nice walk in a forest area, with sunny weather.

It was a very nice forest but with a lot of ticks, that were crawling around in the coat of the bears. I catch-ed almost one hundred of those dreadful animals.

We logged it at 13:00 and went back to our motor home to drive homeward.
